Cruises in Tampa or nearest

[grant88]

Hi all

I have been to Orlando 3 times so far, absolutely love it
but have decided to try a cruise as well, my idea would be to have my usual holiday but only 8 Days
and have a cruise for 7 days,
I book the flights and Villa (a friends) myself,
my question is anyone know a good website, personal experience of a certain ship etc where I can
book a cruise, (just require the cruise only)

hi there,

Here are some carriers and their routes out of Tampa:

Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas features a 4-night cruise to Cozumel, and a 5-night Western Caribbean cruise starting in Tampa with stops in Cozumel, and George Town. Their Legend of the Seas 7-night cruise adds Costa Maya and Belize City.

Carnival Cruise Lines Inspiration features a 5-night Western Caribbean cruise starting in Tampa with stops in Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. Their Carnival Miracle 7-night cruise adds Costa Maya and Belize.

Holland America Lines Veendam features a 7-night Western Caribbean cruise starting in Tampa with stops in Key West, Santo Tomas De, Belize City, and Costa Maya, and another 7-night itinerary with stops in George Town, Montego Bay, and Costa Maya.

Hope this helps

If you plan on cruising from Tampa you are somewhat limited but you have options of cruising from Port Canaveral on the east coast about 2 hours ago (1 hour from Orlando) or even 4.0 hours to Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale) where you will find dozens of more options on both itineraries and prices.

thanks for your help

Ft. Lauderdale options include over 10 different cruiselines:

Prices range from US$409. per person (base price, inside cabin, etc. for example with Carnival) for 7 nights to over US$5000. (base price for top of the line ship, cabin, itinerary, etc. with Silversea).

Do you have a travel agent who can search put the best possible options based on your timeframe and budget? They don't cost anymore than booking on the cruiseships webpage.

Otherwise, you can use any one of many online cruise deals websites but you may never know if you are comparing cruiselines and prices correctly or completely.
